The Central Interior Branch invites you to a virtual session on navigating regulatory requirements as a Professional Engineer or Firm Leader.

Professional engineering practice is increasingly shaped by regulatory expectations, documentation requirements, and professional accountability. While these obligations are well understood in principle, many firms struggle to apply them consistently in day-to-day project delivery.

This session explores the practical realities of professional practice compliance, including risk assessment, scope definition, checking and review, internal collaboration, document control, and use of seal. The presentation focuses first on the professional obligations engineers carry across jurisdictions, then demonstrates how structured workflows and documentation systems can help support those obligations without replacing professional judgment.

The session is intended for practicing professional engineers, firm leaders, and those involved in quality management or regulatory compliance who are interested in practical, experience-based approaches to strengthening professional practice in modern engineering environments.

Bruce Johnston, P.Eng., CP, MIStructE, is a structural engineer, principal partner at Access Engineering, and founder of DesignTIME Solutions, the company behind Stackd — a purpose-built operations platform designed specifically for Canadian engineering firms that integrates project delivery, quality management, regulatory compliance, and financial workflows into one connected system.

Based in British Columbia, Bruce has built his career at the intersection of professional practice, risk management, and firm operations. He has served as Managing Partner of Access Engineering, with direct responsibility for professional oversight, quality management systems, and permit-to-practice compliance.

Bruce regularly speaks with engineers across Canada on practical approaches to professional risk, regulatory expectations, and modern engineering practice.
